Me ?
if me
it works fine but I haven’t been in a battle with it. I practice with steel gongs scattered from 50 to 200 yards and barriers, like the 9 hole style barriers.
I load 5 rounds a mag and shoot them all out. I do it 3 times a month , I probably shoot a good 5 times a month probably 5-600 rounds between 223 , 9mm and 10mm……all I can manage in time and money but still I shoot more than most gun owners, by far. I don’t seem to fumble around with it or anything, never timed myself but it’s faster than pockets.
It’s nice loading from it when your sitting or laying on your side, crawling with it kind sucks, doable but it pokes out there
I don’t carry near the gear you did either so I feel pretty mobile with it, easy to run to cover still, or just plain skin the hell out
I have been practicing shooting while running to cover, tough to do accurate. I can lead good, been killing animals most my life so I got that down but the up and down of running is killer, end up in a speedy shuffle, I can hit that way, but I imagine if you’re getting shot at you want to haul ass.
I tried a drop leg holster for a couple sessions, hated it. Couldn’t stand running with it, and it covered my pockets, I love pockets.
I like the chest rig probably because I wear something similar at work, but a Bendex King and gps instead of ammo so my left arm knows the move well. I also have carried a lot of heavy things for long distance in my profession so I also value mobility being in the Cascade Range, it’s paramount.
Speaking of hiking mountains, it’s nice and cool. It heats up a little square on my chest, much nicer than a vest for that. Not strolling along but hiking, steady.
It works for me, for minuteman bag purposes….. If I live through 6 mags and one in the rifle I will feel fortunate and probably hide….then I am sure I will get hungry after that lol
